#42I built QuickMailBites in Flutter for similar reasons — wanted a native desktop email client that wasn't Electron. Flutter for desktop on Linux is actually quite solid now, and the performance difference from Electron is noticeable. The main limitation I hit was just the ecosystem — fewer desktop-focused libraries than Qt has. But for CRUD-heavy apps (like an email client) it works great.

#43For macOS, there is native SwiftUI Voxa[0]. By the looks of it, it has been unmaintained since the last time I tried it.
Honestly, after the story with Reddit and Apollo, building a third party client is a risk. TOS can change any moment, and if it is not the TOS, the API access can get metered or monetized.
